00:00CBS's How I Met Your Mother spinoff casts its female lead.
00:03What's up, everyone? It's Brian.
00:06How I Met Your Dad finally got its new lead, and it's, drumroll please,
00:11Frances Haastar Greta Gerwig.
00:13She'll play a character named Sally, who is basically the Ted Mosby of the new series.
00:18Except Sally is very different from Ted.
00:21She's described as someone who doesn't want to grow up and has no idea where she's going in life.
00:25We'll meet her at a time when her relationship status is very complicated,
00:30because she's just broken up with her husband of less than a year.
00:33Can we take it slow? I just got out of a long relationship,
00:36and I don't want to go from just having sex to just having sex to just having sex.
00:40So does Greta Gerwig's name ring a bell for you TV fans?
00:43Well, she's definitely a big deal in the indie film world,
00:46starring in films like 2010's Greenberg and 2012's Frances Ha, which she also co-wrote.
00:51Just because you bought dinner doesn't mean I'm going to sleep with you.
00:54I'm not trying to sleep with you.
00:56No, I was pretending to be a liberated woman.
00:58Oh, I got it.
01:00And you might remember her as the snarky friend in the bigger budget flick,
01:03No Strings Attached, with Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman.
01:05Hey, champ.
01:06Hey, what happened last night?
01:08You made my body hurt so much.
01:11According to our friends at Deadline,
01:13CBS hopes to find the type of success with Gerwig as Fox did with another indie film star,
01:19Zooey Deschanel, who made the successful leap from movies to TV with New Girl back in 2011.
01:25Next up for How I Met Your Dad, casting Sally's group of friends who apparently are super supportive,
01:31but don't always give the best advice.
01:33This should be real interesting.
01:35Stay tuned to ENTV for all your entertainment news.
